Lyrics
I GOT SIXTEEN ANGRY WOMEN ON MY TRAIL,
YEAH I GOT SIXTEEN ANGRY WOMEN ON MY TRAIL.
ANY ONE OF THOSE MEAN MISTREATIN MAMAS COULD SEND ME BACK TO JAIL.
'COS TIMES HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BAD,
STORIES NEVER BEEN SO SAD.
REMEMBER THAT THE ROAD YOU CHOOSE IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF BLUES,
AND THATS THE ONLY BOOK I'VE EVER HAD.
SO TAKE ME TO THE CROSSROADS
TELL MY BABY I WON'T BE HOME
READ ME CHAPTERS AS YOU TRADE AWAY MY SOUL.
STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS DEMONS IN THE DULL GLOW
DEVIL'S AT THE READY AND HE'S CALLING.
TURN AND FACE THE TWILIGHT WON'T BE COMING HOME TONIGHT
CAN'T NOBODY CATCH ME I'M FALLING.
I GOT SIXTEEN BRANDS OF WHISKY ON MY SHELF,
SAID I GOT SIXTEEN BRANDS OF WHISKY ON MY SHELF.
GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN BABE AND DRINK THE LOT MYSELF.
'COS TIMES HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BAD,
STORIES NEVER BEEN SO SAD
REMEMBER THAT THE ROAD YOU CHOOSE IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF BLUES
AND THATS THE ONLY BOOK I'VE EVER HAD.
SO TAKE ME TO THE CROSSROADS
TELL MY BABY I WON'T BE HOME
READ ME CHAPTERS AS YOU TRADE AWAY MY SOUL.
STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS DEMONS IN THE DULL GLOW
DEVIL'S AT THE READY AND HE'S CALLING.
TURN AND FACE THE TWILIGHT WON'T BE COMING HOME TONIGHT
CAN'T NOBODY CATCH ME I'M FALLING.
I GOT SIXTEEN KINDS OF REASON NOT TO STAY,
SAID I GOT SIXTEEN KINDS OF REASON NOT TO STAY.
GONNA PACK MY BAGS AND HIT THAT ROAD TODAY.
